초록

The purpose of this paper is to examine two restrictions on ellipsis in English: semantic recoverability and licensing. For the necessity of the former, I show that the ellipsis is not possible if the elided part does not include the identical elements with its antecedent. I point out that the copying theory has one problem in dealing with ambiguities within the elided material, and that semantic recoverability of the elided site is not a sufficient condition to get ellipsis constructions. In addition to the conditions for the ellipsis constructions which are necessary to derive them legitimately, I examine that the licensing ellipsis constructions by the functional categories do not give us full accounts for the ellipsis in general. Finally, I will show that Case-markers like Japanese -mo as well as English adverb too or negation marker not can license the ellipsis under the feature agreement framework
